PASSWORD

FUNCTION

This command performs an encryption on a compiled script. Encryption prevents you from listing a compiled script but does not impair script operation or usability.

SYNTAX

PASSWORD "passwd"
passwd
a string value that specifies the password. A valid value can be 4 through 8 characters long and must be enclosed by double quotes.

NOTES

  • The PASSWORD command can be placed anywhere in a script.
  • The script source code is not affected by the PASSWORD command.
  • Specifying a null value for “passwd” generates a random password.

EXAMPLES

PASSWORD "StayOut"
